    About Tiniya

    Tiniya Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of clinical experience in New York. She earned her Master of Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work in 2014 and has spent much of her career supporting people in housing and community settings.

    Her background includes work with people facing depression, anxiety and stress, trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and issues related to housing instability and reentry. She has experience addressing parenting and family concerns, workplace stress, and the needs of young adults trying to find direction.

    Tiniya centers the relationship in therapy. She prioritizes listening, understanding, and offering nonjudgmental feedback. Sessions aim to give a different perspective and practical ways to move forward when old patterns feel stuck.

    Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative ideas, solution-focused steps, and Motivational Interviewing to support change. Those methods are used in everyday language to set small goals and build on what already works for each person.

    People who appreciate clear, direct conversation and collaborative goal-setting often find her style helpful. She encourages clients to say what they need and to try manageable steps between sessions. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

    Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and times directly with her, since schedules and formats may change.

  2. How her approaches work in online therapy

    Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to explore a person’s own reasons for change and to build motivation step by step. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That may mean trying one method for a while and adjusting as needed based on what helps.

    Confirm the current session options with the therapist before booking, as formats can change. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use phone or video in ways that suit their schedule, helping therapy feel more manageable alongside daily responsibilities.
